BILL CLINTON: 'One thing' Trump knows 'is how to get angry, white men to vote for him'

Bill Clinton did not mince words when asked by the editor of a
small New York newspaper for his thoughts on President-elect
Donald Trump.

The editor of the Bedford-Pound Ridge Record Review, a community
newspaper in Westchester County, New York, bumped into Clinton at
a local bookstore last week, where the former president proceeded
to give candid answers about a series of election-related topics to a group that had
gathered around him.

One man asked Clinton whether he thought Trump was smart, to
which the former president said "he doesn't know much."

"One thing he does know is how to get angry, white men to vote
for him," Clinton said.

Pointing to FBI Director James Comey's letter announcing the
bureau's renewed interest in Hillary Clinton's use of a personal
email server just days before the election, Clinton said it "cost
her the election" and "we were seven (percentage) points up"
before the letter was made public.

The former president also criticized Trump's response to the
suspected role of Russia's meddling in the US election. Reports
after the election indicated that US intelligence agencies believed Russia
intentionally worked to help elect Trump.

"You would need to have a single-digit IQ not to recognize what
was going on," Clinton said.

Clinton also brushed off Trump's claim that he won the election
in a landslide by defeating the former secretary of state by a
306-to-232 electoral-vote margin.
